Overview

A rural, unspoiled county with a gentle rolling landscape, Shropshire offers many walks of all grades, and cycle rides through country lanes and traditional villages. There are over 3,500 miles of public rights of way, with several long distance walks, including a large section of the Offa's Dyke National Trail. For cyclists there are hundreds of miles of the National Cycle Network routes along quiet lanes, old railway lines and waterways, and muddy mountain biking tracks in woods and forests. The Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including the Wrekin and the Stiperstones offers much variety, ranging from rugged volcanic rocks of Stretton Edge and the sandstone outcrops of Clun Forest, to heather topped hill tops.
